Do you want to become part of a bold vision to protect and promote the legacy of the Clyde's maritime heritage?

Join CDPI as an associate member for £5 per month (£20/month
for business membership for up to 200 employees, £50/mo for corporate membership).
You will receive regular updates on the research & development
work we are taking forward before these are published and you will
be invited to take part in our stakeholder activities, focus groups, etc.

You can subscribe online via PayPal but if you would prefer to set
up a bank standing order or for corporate associate membership
(organisations with >200 employees) please contact fundraising@cdpi.org.uk

Your contribution as an individual supporter will enable CDPI to retain
its organisational independence (which has been critical to our work
so far) and not be influenced by any special corporate interests. We
aim to raise no more than 10% of our revenue from any one corporate
supporter and no more than 30% of our total income from corporate contributors.

Once you have set up a Paypal subscription we will be in touch shortly to
complete your associate registration process.

Some of the Work Your Associate Membership Will Support

Free Guided Walks
We are starting to run guided walks from Water Row in Govan, along the Riverside to the Graving Docks, to tell some of the story of the post industrial environment of the waterfront.
The walks will have particular focus on the story behind the campaign to save the historic A-listed graving docks and the emerging proposals for the future of the derelict site.

Govan Graving Docks
We are handing our primary role relating to Govan Graving Docks
over to the dedicated Govan Docks Regeneration Trust charity.
We are working with other stakeholders
and the community to build the role of the Trust as it develops
proposals for the public areas of the site. In addition our wider
research & development
activity will continue to address Govan Graving Docks as a case
study and the Trust will
be able to both feed into and directly benefit from our research.

Clyde Archive
We will be building a photographic record of the maritme and heritage assets and environment along the length of the Clyde. This will provide a baseline from which future changes
(caused by development or environmental factors) can be observed.

Clyde Festival
We are developing plans to introduce a summer-long Clyde festival
programme, with a maritime heritage focus, that will bring various independent
activities and events together and encourage new ones to be launched throughout
the Clyde and Firth of Clyde region. We hope to launch this from 2019 or 2020.

Sail Cargo
The use of small wind-powered ships to transport good by sea is making
a comeback as a way to reduce CO2 emissions
from shipping, with both 'traditional' styled ships and new innovation.
We aim to promote development of a sail cargo hub on the Clyde and
see significant potential for this to contribute to Scotlandâs climate
change targets.

What is Heritage?
We aim to create a wider understanding of maritime heritage as being not just about history and museums but more importantly also about contemporary and evolving culture, activity, technology and
sustainable development.

Building Connections
We are looking at ways to connect the reindustrialisation of the Clyde with the communities along the river, how we connect it with the leisure and tourism potential of the region
and how it can encourage innovation and learning.
